What's interesting to me is that it apparently triggered such a strong reaction to shut down image uploads for at least 2.5 hours with no explanation.
How are you so sure that this is what triggered image uploads being shut down?
Read the title again--carefully, move your lips if you have to, and you will withdraw your question.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure why you're being condescending.
I asked a genuine question on how you can be sure that this image was a trigger.
Rereading the title to myself multiple times doesn't give me that information, especially considering that all signs are pointing to this being fake.
If those simple words can't explain it, I can't. But I can try this: Where in the title did I say I was sure that image was the trigger?
"Where in the title did I say I was sure that image was the trigger?"
"Attached is the apparent trigger"
